Uh oh...pressure's on!"



I did put a smily face. Now I'll probably get skunked for writing that....

Looking forward to reading your trip report. I'll be in the same area in less than two weeks...

If you can't catch fish on William then you might as well sell all your fishing gear :)

I'm leaving today for the same region. Going to try and make it up to William. Hope you left us some fish, otherwise we will be going hungry.

Back late last night from 10 days in Quetico (the classic route: Basswood River, Robinson, McIntyre, Brent, Suzanette). We got in Memorial Day, just ahead of 4 days of gale-force winds--not great for canoeing or fishing but we had the park pretty much to ourselves. Highlights included sharing Moose Bay with a pair of trumpeter swans, orchids blooming in such profusion you had to be careful where you stepped, fresh lake trout sautéed in butter & lemon and fish tacos created with smallmouth bass filets fried in a tempura batter and served with lime/cilantro salsa. Shot a lot of medium format film (forgot to bring the extra batteries for the digital cameras--doh!).

The fishing was picking up when we were coming out after last week's heat wave--the bigger lakes, McIntyre, Brent and Suzanette were still very cold--high 40's, low 50's water temps. Couldn't buy a walleye anywhere although we talked to a group who nailed them on Crooked. Had fun with largemouth on smaller lakes when weather/wind permitted top-water lures. Even slow for lake trout--a new weather system rolled through every other day and there was lots of pollen on the water also.

Now that would be funny and sad at the same time.
